Reflections
Happy School - Our beautiful daughter of six going on seven is a happy holiday
girl these days. For a year, she’s been a happy schoolgirl as well, and
luckily, I have the feeling she will be just as happy come mid September and
the beginning of a new school year. For Mother Hen in persona, that’s a
good feeling.

Z`nüni
When you leave your kids to Kindergarten or School, you will always have to put
some Znüni in their Täschli /Schoolbag, so they can endure until midday.
For health reasons, Swiss Kindergartens and Schools doesn‘t allow sweets
in the Znüni box. That means you better keep your hands off the Sweet-drawer
when you are preparing your kid’s lunch box.

The
first Swiss schoolbag
A decision for life: The most important thing to considerate when buying the
first schoolbag, is this bag will affect your child’s back. As we all know,
carrying a bag is not the best thing for our backs. Every doctor will say so.
Each year, the association of Swiss chiropractors for children offers us parents
good tips for what to look after when choosing the perfect schoolbag.

The dad championship
I was pleasantly surprised to read that on 7 June 2009 two Dads here in Switzerland
were awarded the "Father of the Year" award and the award got me thinking:
What makes a great Dad?
A great deal of public discussion either ignores the question entirely or limits
it to highlighting particularly bad examples.
But what makes a really good, great Dad?

PUBLIC SCHOOL
In Switzerland foreigners make up 22% of the total population. Many of them do
put their kids into private day- or boarding school, but most foreigners and
over 90% of Swiss parents choose a state school.
SOMBAT ADAMS
My name is Sombat Adams. I come from Khon Kaen in Thailand. My husband came originally
from Scotland. After marrying we lived in Thailand for 1 year, then Italy for
2 years, then England for 7 years and now Switzerland for 7 years.

NIEDERBAUEN
Take the cable car to the Niederbauen. Allow yourself and your family
(or
friends) to spend at least one night up there. The Berggasthaus Niederbauen
offers affordable
accomodation and really good food. And, for the lazy ones, the hotel is basically
at the end of the cable car.

the challenges in a different country
Starting a new life in another country is one of the biggest changes that can
take place in a person’s life. When this change is made as a family, each
member can experience the challenges in different ways. Even once a family has
been in a new country for some time.
